The Paul Family, We can just imagine the pain you'll are going through during these difficult moments. We have still to wonder which thunderbolt struck us that she is no more, We use to interact with her on a daily basis morning and evening joking and laughing at what messages we sent to each other. No one knows who goes first and who is last but keep dreaming about the better place she is in now, Our Rose always aloud smiling and laughing for everything that any and everyone said no matter what, those tears have to change to laughter with her sweet sweet smile of love everywhere. IMMORTALITY We don't say goodbye, we keep the memories of you and us inside... MAY OUR VERY OWN 🌹SOUL REST IN PEACE* God Bless You'll take care 🙌🏻🙏❤️🌹
